Tupac's Poetry
4 Jada
u r the omega of my heart
the foundation of my conception of love
when i thinkof what a black woman should be
its u that i think first of
u will never fully understand
how deeply my heart feels 4 u
i worry that we'll grow apart
and i'll end up losing u
u bring me 2 climax without sex
and u do it all with regal grace
u r my heart in human form
a friend i could never replace
A Young Heart with an Old Soul (aka In The Depths of Solitude)
A young heart with an old soul How can there be peace?
How can I be in the depths of solitude
When there are two inside me?
This duo in me causes the perfect oppurtunity
To learn and live twice as fast
As those who accept simplicity...
Ambition Over Adversity
Take one's adversity
Learn from their misfortune
Learn from their pain
Believe in yourself
Turn adversity into ambition
Now blossom into wealth
And Tommorrow
Today is filled with anger, fueled with hidden hate.
Scared of being outkast, afraid of common fate.
Today is build on tragedies which no one want's to face.
Nightmares to humanity and morally disgraced.
Tonight is filled with Rage, violence in the air.
Children bred with ruthlessness cause no one at home cares.
Tonight I lay my head down but pressure never stops,
knowing that my sanity content when I'm dropped.
But tomorrow I see change, a chance to build a new,
build on spirit intent of heart and ideas based on truth.
Tomorrow I wake with second wind and strong because of pride.
I know I fought with all my heart to keep the dream alive.
Can You See the Pride In The Panther
Can You See the Pride In the Panther
As he grows in splendor and grace
Topling obstacles placed in the way,
of the progression of his race.
Can You See the Pride In the Panther
as she nurtures her young alone
The seed must grow regardless
of the fact that it is planted in stone.
Can You See the Pride In the Panthers
as they unify as one.
The flower blooms with brilliance
and outshines the rays of the sun.
No More Pain
When I die
I wanna be a livin' legend
Say my name
Affiliated with this mind fuckin' game
with no more pain
I Cry
Sometimes when I'm alone I Cry.
Cause I am my own.
The tears I cry are bitter and warm.
They flow with life but take no form
I Cry because my heart is torn.
I find it difficult to carry on.
If I had an ear to confide in
I would cry among my treasured friend,
but who do you that stops that long,
to help another carry on.
The world moves fast and it would rather pass by.
Then to stop and see what makes one cry,
so painful and sad.
And sometimes...
I Cry
and no one cares why.
The Fallen Star
They could never understand
what u set out 2 do
instead they chose 2
ridicule u when u got weak
they loved the sight
of your dimming
and flickering starlight
How could they understand what was so intricate
2 be loved by so many, so intimate
they wanted 2 c your lifeless corpse
this way u could not alter the course
of ignorance that they have set
2 make my people forget
what they have done for much 2 long
2 just forget and carry on
I had loved u forever because of who u r
and now I mourn our fallen star
In the Event of My Demise
In the event of my Demise
when my heart can beat no more
I Hope I Die For A Principle
or A Belief that I had Lived 4
I will die Before My Time
Because I fell the shadow's Depth
so much I wanted to accomplish
before I reached my Death
I have come 2 grips with the possibility
and wiped the last tear from My eyes
I Loved All who were Positive
In the event of my Demise
The Rose That Grew From Concrete
Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long lived the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.
